agricultural lands

Fields for growing

Agricultural lands are areas used for farming—growing crops or raising livestock.

The term appears in legal, policy, and environmental contexts where precise classification matters: zoning laws protecting agricultural lands from development, debates over converting agricultural lands to other uses.

The county rezoned agricultural lands for residential construction.
